One of the most famous individuals to practice this “occult practice” is Isaac Newton. He had other studies considered occult but we will focus on alchemy for the time being. This brilliant man had a deep interest in natural science and material theory. In 1919 a process called artificial disintegration‚ was used to convert nitrogen

century marks a period in history where drastic social change occurred. This change‚ however‚ was not as much political or technological but religious. During this time‚ the introduction of ideas and theories‚ starting with the renown Galileo and Isaac Newton‚ spread a wave of enlightenment across Europe as people began to question the teachings and the overall infidelity of the church.

gov) Understanding the physics of heat transfer will surely help with this experiment. Another significant fact for further understanding and performing this experiment is the discovery of the science of cooling. Several hundred years ago‚ Sir Isaac Newton made an important discovery about how fast things cool down. He found that the rate of cooling depends on the temperature difference between an object and its surroundings. In other words‚ the hotter something is‚ compared with its surroundings
